A recent report noted a 29 per cent increase in visitors throughout the park between 2010 and 2019 – and some roads around Lake Louise have seen a 71 per cent increase in traffic volume. Parks Canada says the money is part of $557 million in recently announced funding over three years to ensure continuation of infrastructure projects and maintenance work in the parks.
